About Central California

The position is located in one of the most scenic and geographically diverse areas of the United States. It’s an outdoor lover’s paradise! You’ll be in the enviable position of having not one, but three National Parks in your backyard: Yosemite, Kings Canyon and Sequoia. The area is just an hour’s drive to the majestic Sierra Nevada Mountains and two and half to four hours to the stunning Pacific coast, the Napa and Sonoma wine regions and the San Francisco, San Jose, and Los Angeles metro areas. Lake Tahoe and San Diego are within five hours by car.

Whether you prefer the snow, the sun or the sand, it’s all within your reach. And with so much varied geography, you’ll also find hiking and biking trails, kayaking, fishing, local wineries, farm stands and festivals, gourmet cuisine, and so much more.

As part of a larger metropolitan area of just under 1 million people, the region also benefits from ongoing economic growth and easy access to countless dining and shopping options, both new gated communities and established neighborhoods, affordable home prices and excellent schools—making it a perfect choice for families.
